Chapter 895
Qin Qi was already used to the mysterious woman keeping secrets.
Since the other party was unwilling to talk, he knew asking would be useless.
Turning to Feng Xiao Xiao, she had fled all the way to the cabin.
She stood with her hands behind her back, looking out the window, her brows furrowed, her expression particularly solemn.
"No way..."
Feng Xiao Xiao bit her lip, "That Bai Qingrou is really a shameless woman, willing to throw herself away just to recruit people!"
She felt irritable and distracted.
She couldn’t exactly throw herself at Qin Qi to recruit him, could she?
How could that be acceptable?
She had to think of other ways to draw Qin Qi into her camp.
Just like that.
About half an hour later!
The boat stopped.
Feng Xiao Xiao led Qin Qi off the boat.
A few disciples quickly came to greet them, "Master!"
Leading them was Xu Yang, who had previously received Qin Qi!
Xu Yang, familiar with Qin Qi, greeted him politely, "Junior Brother Qin Qi, we meet again!"
Feng Xiao Xiao asked sternly, "While I was away, did the Evil Demons organize another round of attacks?"
Xu Yang took a deep breath, "Not really, but the Evil Demon army is within thirty miles of Holy Wood City."
"It looks like they could attack at any time. I don’t know what they’re waiting for!"
Upon hearing this, Feng Xiao Xiao’s face turned grim, "Are the other geniuses I invited all here?"
"Master, they have all arrived!" Xu Yang replied.
Feng Xiao Xiao’s expression softened a bit upon hearing this, "Where are they?"
Xu Yang said, "Master, please follow me..."
Under Xu Yang’s guidance, they arrived at the reception hall of the City Lord’s Mansion.
In this hall, there were three young people, two men and one woman.
The two young men both appeared to be in their twenties. One of them had a cultivation level equal to Baiqing Residence, reaching Tier Nine of the Foundation Establishment Stage.
The other one looked even more formidable than Baiqing Residence, having reached the Peak of the Foundation Establishment Stage!
As for the remaining woman, when Qin Qi looked over, he was momentarily stunned.
When the other party saw him, her expression was similar, utterly shocked.
"It’s you?"
Both of them spoke almost in unison.
Because the other party was none other than the female genius he had bumped into while exchanging for merits, Wei Ling’Er!
"Oh? You two know each other?" Feng Xiao Xiao said with a cheerful smile.
Qin Qi smiled and said, "Yes, we’ve met once."
Wei Ling’Er faintly parted her lips, "I was wondering which genius City Lord Feng had invited to assist, turns out it’s him!"
Feng Xiao Xiao beamed, pointing at the male cultivator who had reached Tier Nine, "Since you know each other, that makes things easier. I only need to introduce the other two!"
"This is Zhang Ming Tong, a genius from Hua Xing Sect, affiliated with Sea Emperor City!"
Zhang Ming Tong seemed affable, flashing a smile at Qin Qi.
"As for this one, he is the famous top-tier genius of the entire Northwest Region, born from the Murong Family, named Murong Chan!"
The cultivator called Murong Chan was indeed the highest in cultivation among them, having reached the Peak of the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Perhaps due to this, he naturally exuded a proud demeanor.
He glanced coldly at Qin Qi, then said icily, "City Lord Feng, for this operation, you’ve invited geniuses famous from various factions!"
"But what are you inviting a mere Tier Six Foundation Establishment boy here for?"
"You must understand, facing elite Evil Demons is no joking matter. If it comes to a real fight, we won’t have the time to babysit him!"
Feng Xiao Xiao smiled sweetly, "Nephew Murong, you mustn’t underestimate Qin Qi. He once killed four Evil Demons with a wave of his hand!"
"Moreover, he showed outstanding combat prowess in Tianqing City, shining brilliantly in battle."
Murong Chan sneered, "A small Tianqing City, at most facing a thousand or so Evil Demons, even if he shines, to what extent can he shine?"
Feng Xiao Xiao’s expression darkened, not looking too pleased.
After all, this was someone she brought here, and Murong Chan was a bit too disrespectful toward her.
However, given Murong Chan’s background, even she was somewhat wary of him, and his talent and strength were undoubtedly remarkable.
Inviting him had cost her a considerable price.
She could only reluctantly say, "Nephew Murong, what do you think?"
"This plan to hunt and kill that elite Evil Demon centers around you. Feel free to share your insights and strategies!"
Murong Chan’s face was full of arrogance, intending to make a grand speech.
But he noticed that, besides Zhang Ming Tong looking at him,
Qin Qi and Wei Ling’Er didn’t seem to be paying attention to him.
Wei Ling’Er seemed to possess endless curiosity about Qin Qi, at some point stepping forward, "Qin Qi, last time you earned so many merits, just how many Evil Demons did you slay?"
Qin Qi chuckled, "I can’t quite remember that."
Wei Ling’Er pouted, "Who was that female cultivator with you last time, what’s your relationship with her?"
Qin Qi glanced at Wei Ling’Er, inwardly amused.
It seemed that Wei Ling’Er was quite curious about him.
This was a good thing indeed.
He could definitely capitalize on this curiosity.
A gift on one’s doorstep should not be wasted!
He, Qin Qi, wasn’t without romantic encounters!
With this in mind, Qin Qi smiled and said, "What do you think our relationship is?"
"How would I know?" Wei Ling’Er replied, a bit irritated.
Qin Qi said, "You know Baiqing Residence, right?"
Wei Ling’Er blinked, "I seem to recall, oh, right. The top genius of Tianlan Sect, disciple of Bai Sheng Nu, right!"
"Why do you bring him up!"
Qin Qi replied helplessly, "That girl from last time is Baiqing Residence’s wife!"
"Oh?"
Wei Ling’Er’s eyes glistened with joy, "So you two are unrelated!"
Qin Qi teasingly said, "It seems Miss Wei is quite happy that she’s unrelated to me?"
Wei Ling’Er chuckled, "What are you thinking, can’t I just ask?"
She simply found Luo Yanran’s substantial hostility towards her curious, nothing more!
The two chatted back and forth.
Making Murong Chan’s expression exceedingly unpleasant.
He was, after all, the pride of the Murong Family!
Just moments ago, when the three were together, Wei Ling’Er hadn’t been as actively questioning him, yet this Qin Qi, merely a Tier Six Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator, caught Wei Ling’Er’s interest like this?
How could he accept this?
His face darkened as he walked up to Qin Qi, "Boy, were you invited by City Lord Feng to joke around here?"
Qin Qi looked him over.
From the start, Murong Chan had an arrogant demeanor, showing nothing but disdain for him.
Qin Qi hadn’t even bothered with him, yet he sought him out.
With a cold tone, he replied, "Brother Murong, if you’re truly restless or just can’t sit still, you’re welcome to single-handedly take on that elite Evil Demon!"
